Thank you @DownBeatMag for the placement in this year's Composer and Arranger categories as well as the Rising Star Arranger category of your critics polls! This is truly an honor. #DownbeatMagazine #CriticsPoll #MLO #MichaelLeonhart #NYC

"Leonhard offsets the emotional heaviness of the Suites with some lighter tracks, including the pop rocking Elvis Costello collaborations “Shut Him Down,” ft. Joshua Redman, Chris Potter and JSWISS." Thank you so much, @bigtakeovermag! Read more: bit.ly/MLOTakeover

"Each component of the suite is sufficiently distinctive... it’s impossible not to get swept up in its grandeur, or to appreciate the love that went into its creation." Thank you, @JazzTimes for the incredible review! Read all about it here: bit.ly/MLOJazzTimes

"The presentation of this music amounts to a memorial service befitting one given top-dog status." Thank you @DownBeatMag for the fantastic review! Find out who those featured artists are by listening to The Normyn Suites: fanlink.to/MLO_NormynSuit… #MLO #NormynSuites

"Sprawling and ambitious, The Normyn Suites is an engaging album of genre-bending mood music that leaves you contemplating Leonhart's expansive creative voice and the dog that inspired him." Thank you @AllMusic for the press! Read and listen here: bit.ly/3LSC1ho

"[Shut Him Down, the opening track, is] an Afrobeat strut with stinging organ, pumping horns, subtly mocking female backing vocals, a guest lead vocal from Elvis Costello." Thank you so much for the praise, @stereogum! You can read and listen here: bit.ly/35t7RSt

"Calling trumpeter, composer, producer and bandleader Micheal Leonhart a musical journeyman would be an understatement. Maybe genius is over used in this day and age, but Leonhart is closer to that term on the talent scale." Thank you, @somethngelse! somethingelsereviews.com/2022/03/24/mic…

"Trumpeter, multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Michael Leonhart returns with his fabulous orchestra and guest heavyweights for a third outing on the Sunnyside label, The Normyn Suites." Thank you, @JazzTrail_net, for the wonderful press! Read more here: jazztrail.net/blog/michael-l…
